A boat has a mass of 6800 kg. Its engines generate a drive force of 3500 N, due west, while the wind exerts a force of 670 N, due east, and the water exerts a resistive force of 1200 N due east. What is the magnitude and direction of the boats acceleration? m/s2-Select north south Answer| east Practice Another Version west

Answer #1

Here ,

let east is the positive direction

Using second law of motion

net force = mass * acceleration

-3500 + 670 + 1200 = 6800 * a

a = -0.24 m/s^2

the boat's acceleration is 0.24 m/s^2 towards the west direction

    A 321-kg boat is sailing 10.0° north of east at a speed of 2.00 m/s. 30.0 s later, it is sailing 33.0° north of east at a speed of 4.10 m/s. During this time, three forces act on the boat: a 32.3-N force directed 10.0° north of east (due to an auxiliary engine), a 23.9-N force directed 10.0° south of west (resistance due to the water), and (due to the wind). Find the (a) the magnitude and (b) direction of...

    A boat with a total mass of 500 kg is travelling north on a lake. The motor of the boat provides a force of 400 N in the northerly direction. The wind blows 30◦ away from the northerly direction slightly towards east. It exerts a force of 300 N on the boat. Find the acceleration of the boat including magnitude and direction. Assume that the friction between the boat and the water of the lake is negligible.
